Make Plans to Attend Missouri Literary Festival Sept. 23-25

If you love to meet authors and anything related to the Civil War, you won’t want to miss any of the events during the 2011 Missouri Literary Festival: The Civil War, Sept. 23-25 at the Creamery Arts Center in downtown Springfield.

The library is partnering with others in staging this special Civil War Sesquicentennial event. The festival is a project of the Springfield Regional Arts Council.

Buy festival tickets at the Creamery, 411 N. Sherman Parkway, and at all branches of the library district.

The festival includes national and regional authors and historians, children’s writers, music, storytelling, poetry and art activities for kids. Experience cannon and musket firings, learn about Civil War medicine and soldier life.

Now through Oct. 3, the library has an online survey to collect information about how our patrons use the Library’s computers and Internet connection. It is sponsored by the University of Washington with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
